BTW, CoSo, I had my optometrist appointment yesterday. Turns out I've got cataracts, which are worse in my left eye - they can't correct it down past 20/25. In 5 or 6 years, I'll probably need cataract surgery, the doctor said.
My prescription for both eyes changed drastically. Getting new lenses and, thanks to a couple of faceplant falls, new frames. Cost: $225 after insurance. It was over $1000 before insurance! Geez.
@leejackson I recently had the cataract surgery in both eyes, and lasik on one. Don’t suffer- slow vision loss is a sneaky rat bastard that reduces your quality of life in ways you won’t notice, as it’s so gradual. Also, I read that there is a new treatment for cataracts that’s non-surgical. No idea if that means it happens in a lab or if it’s a commercially available deal. This stranger on the internet simply says, don’t put it off. Good luck and good health.
@leejackson I know the feeling. I am waiting for the VA to get me scheduled for cataract surgery. I really wish they would hurry. I tired of everything looking like I am looking through water.
@leejackson both of parents had that surgery. Went well.
@leejackson Sorry but glad you had insurance. My grandfather had cataracts so it's something my optometrist is watching for in me. So far so good.
